"In deepest hollows of our minds
A system failure left behind"
The way addiction disturbes base of how one's mind functiones - ability to experience joy other than to succumb to more and more destructive urge, which renders one unable to involve in undestructive mutualy benefiting relations, and thus condemns to the life of solitude.
"And their necks crane
As they turn to pray for rain"
How addiction deforms body and will to conform to the only priority - to fulfill the urge.
"Dull residue of what once was
A shattered cloud of swirling doves"
How every moment of sobriety confronts with all the thing lost too addiction.
"And their eyes change
As they learn to see through flames"
How it distorts perception making one see everything through the filter of paranoia, fear and resentment.
"Drops on rocks fall fast and fleeting
Hearts and wings commence to beating"
The satiation of urge is a welcome yet fleeting and somehow violent experience.
"Woods unseen with all believing
Vision walls fall all receding
Vision walls fall all receding"
"Rhythm laws unleash their meaning
Usher us into the dreaming"
The escape from surrounding reality even with psychoactive substances requires effort especially as one gets used to the effect. It takes an act of faith as it's irrational in the light of more and more destructive effects. One creates an air of mysticism around the way one stimulates one's brain to experience euphoria that's harder to come by with each time.
"All unending all completing
Vision walls fall fast and fleeting
Vision walls fall all revealing
Vision walls fall all revealing
Vision walls fall all revealing
Vision walls fall all revealing"
The euphoria builds up with the repetition and the rising of the music. Fulfilling the urge gives the brief moment of bodily/cranial ecstatic burst represented by vocalized part, only to quickly return to the grim and degrading reality.
To me this song describes addiction.
